Ward, Big fan of Quaver, its a community-driven, and open-source competitive rhythm game.
tentaclius, Cataclysm DDA is amazing if you are into this stuff.

- OpenTyrian (likely available in your package manager)
CrypticCoffee, I really like MineClone2 (a Minetest game).
Noughmad, Definitely Neverball. My kids and I spent so many hours in it.
OpenTTD is good, so is TuxKart, but both have better closed-source alternatives. I don’t think Neverball does.
Stoneblackdog, SuperTuxKart is really good with friends.
prokyonid, Warzone 2100. 3D RTS from the late 90s that was open-sourced after the studio went belly-up. Fantastic game, runs on even ancient hardware.
Edit to add: Forgot to mention it is still receiving updates!
sounddrill, Xonotic on pc, lato’s adventure on android
pH3ra, No one is saying Shattered Pixel Dungeon?
Because I say Shattered Pixel Dungeon.
JillyB, I played vanilla pixel dungeon years ago and recently picked it back up. What’s the difference with Shattered?
Professor_Lavahot, Shattered has added a lot more polish, some story elements, some more interesting bosses and challenges, and removed the frustrating weapon breakdown element. It’s under active development, whereas I think the vanilla game is now a dead fork.

Ok I’m sold
pH3ra, While vanilla was promising, it always had that “school project” kind of vibe. Shattered, intead, is a full fledged, really polished game with active development.
Among the new features there are new sub-missions (with a new one in development right now), new enemies and bosses, a new playable character and re-balanced mechanics overall.
Stongly suggested, you can even find it on f-droid
JillyB, I think I’ll pick that up. When I quit playing years ago, it was because I felt like I had solved the game. Maybe my strategy wasn’t optimal but it was as good as I could get it and I was purely relying on luck to get deeper. If shattered can add more depth then I’m down.
MangoKangaroo, (edited ) In terms of games I actually play, Cataclysm: DDA (even if I still suck at it after hundreds of hours).
In terms of technical/visual impressiveness, Veloren.
Crozekiel, Omg I looked at veloren and I’m going to have to try that… I spent so many hours in cube world when it first went early access (before the dev went radio silent for 5 years and then released on steam, lol)
rah,
s12, I really enjoyed Minedustry. Also, does Katawa Shoujo count?
Vuipes, Lix – https://www.lixgame.com/
FOSS Lemmings, with many great features (like multiplayer) and active development.
thingsiplay, @sleepybisexual You know what, I could link my articles from a few years ago. It's been a while, so some of newer Open Source games are missing from these lists.
Nilz, Jeez, thanks for this blast from the past. I remember a lot of these from my early Linux experiments over a decade ago.
xoggy, I forgot half these games existed. Thanks for sharing!
